asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

   - "memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move
     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

   - "support large folio swap-out and swap-in for shmem" from Baolin
     Wang. With this series we no longer split shmem large folios into
     simgle-page folios when swapping out shmem.

   - "mm/hugetlb: alloc/free gigantic folios" from Yu Zhao. Nice
     performance improvements and code reductions for gigantic folios.

   - "Increase the number of bits available in page_type" from Matthew
     Wilcox. Increases the number of bits available in page_type!

   - "Simplify the page flags a little" from Matthew Wilcox. Many legacy
     page flags are now folio flags, so the page-based flags and their
     accessors/mutators can be removed.

   - "mm: store zero pages to be swapped out in a bitmap" from Usama
     Arif. An optimization which permits us to avoid writing/reading
     zero-filled zswap pages to backing store.

   - "Avoid MAP_FIXED gap exposure" from Liam Howlett. Fixes a race
     window which occurs when a MAP_FIXED operqtion is occurring during
     an unrelated vma tree walk.

   - "mm: remove vma_merge()" from Lorenzo Stoakes. Major rotorooting of
     the vma_merge() functionality, making ot cleaner, more testable and

<content type='text'>
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all pwm drivers to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop
struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have
the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure
member name in the driver initializer.

<content type='text'>
VFIO_EEH_PE_INJECT_ERR ioctl is currently failing on pseries
due to missing implementation of err_inject eeh_ops for pseries.
This patch implements pseries_eeh_err_inject in eeh_ops/pseries
eeh_ops. Implements support for injecting MMIO load/store error
for testing from user space.

The check on PCI error type (bus type) code is moved to platform
code, since the eeh_pe_inject_err can be allowed to more error
types depending on platform requirement. Removal of the check for
'type' in eeh_pe_inject_err() doesn't impact PowerNV as
pnv_eeh_err_inject() already has an equivalent check in place.

<id>urn:sha1:5b4bc44a4854ccd41eef9aa9f47677f7d136c294</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek"), no_llseek() is
simply defined to be NULL, and a NULL llseek means seeking is
unsupported.

So for statically defined file_operations, such as all these, there's no
need or benefit to set llseek = no_llseek.

<title>mm: kvmalloc: align kvrealloc() with krealloc()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:590b9d576caec6b4c46bba49ed36223a399c3fc5</id>
<content type='text'>
Besides the obvious (and desired) difference between krealloc() and
kvrealloc(), there is some inconsistency in their function signatures and
behavior:

 - krealloc() frees the memory when the requested size is zero, whereas
   kvrealloc() simply returns a pointer to the existing allocation.

 - krealloc() behaves like kmalloc() if a NULL pointer is passed, whereas
   kvrealloc() does not accept a NULL pointer at all and, if passed,
   would fault instead.

 - krealloc() is self-contained, whereas kvrealloc() relies on the caller
   to provide the size of the previous allocation.

Inconsistent behavior throughout allocation APIs is error prone, hence
make kvrealloc() behave like krealloc(), which seems superior in all
mentioned aspects.

Besides that, implementing kvrealloc() by making use of krealloc() and
vrealloc() provides oppertunities to grow (and shrink) allocations more
efficiently.  For instance, vrealloc() can be optimized to allocate and
map additional pages to grow the allocation or unmap and free unused pages
to shrink the allocation.

<title>powerpc/pseries/dlpar: Add device tree nodes for DLPAR IO add</title>

<id>urn:sha1:02b98ff44a57c1376c5a92a8518fda5c82bb5a91</id>
<content type='text'>
In the powerpc-pseries specific implementation, the IO hotplug
event is handled in the user space (drmgr tool). For the DLPAR
IO ADD, the corresponding device tree nodes and properties will
be added to the device tree after the device enable. The user
space (drmgr tool) uses configure_connector RTAS call with the
DRC index to retrieve the device nodes and updates the device
tree by writing to /proc/ppc64/ofdt. Under system lockdown,
/dev/mem access to allocate buffers for configure_connector RTAS
call is restricted which means the user space can not issue this
RTAS call and also can not access to /proc/ppc64/ofdt. The
pseries implementation need user interaction to power-on and add
device to the slot during the ADD event handling. So adds
complexity if the complete hotplug ADD event handling moved to
the kernel.

To overcome /dev/mem access restriction, this patch extends the
/sys/kernel/dlpar interface and provides ‘dt add index &lt;drc_index&gt;’
to the user space. The drmgr tool uses this interface to update
the device tree whenever the device is added. This interface
retrieves device tree nodes for the corresponding DRC index using
the configure_connector RTAS call and adds new device nodes /
properties to the device tree.

In the powerpc-pseries specific implementation, the IO hotplug
event is handled in the user space (drmgr tool). But update the
device tree and /dev/mem access to allocate buffers for some
RTAS calls are restricted when the kernel lockdown feature is
enabled. For the DLPAR IO REMOVE, the corresponding device tree
nodes and properties have to be removed from the device tree
after the device disable. The user space removes the device tree
nodes by updating /proc/ppc64/ofdt which is not allowed  under
system lockdown is enabled. This restriction can be resolved
by moving the complete IO hotplug handling in the kernel. But
the pseries implementation need user interaction to power off
and to remove device from the slot during hotplug event handling.

To overcome the /proc/ppc64/ofdt restriction, this patch extends
the /sys/kernel/dlpar interface and provides
‘dt remove index &lt;drc_index&gt;’ to the user space so that drmgr
tool can remove the corresponding device tree nodes based on DRC
index from the device tree.

_be32 type is defined for some elements in pseries_hp_errorlog
struct but also used them u32 after be32_to_cpu() conversion.

Example: In handle_dlpar_errorlog()
hp_elog-&gt;_drc_u.drc_index = be32_to_cpu(hp_elog-&gt;_drc_u.drc_index);

And later assigned to u32 type
dlpar_cpu() - u32 drc_index = hp_elog-&gt;_drc_u.drc_index;

This incorrect usage is giving the following warnings and the
patch resolve these warnings with the correct assignment.

arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dlpar.c:398:53: sparse: sparse:
incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) @@
